The first thing we have to understand, at the time of writing this article is that the HBM-PIM is not a standard approved by the JEDEC, which is the committee of 300 companies in charge of creating the different memory standards, whether they are volatile or persistent.At the moment it is a proposal and design of Samsung, which could become a new type of HBM memory and be manufactured by third parties or failing that in an exclusive product of the South Korean smelting.
It becomes a standard or not, the HBM-PIM will be manufactured for the AI Accelerator of Xilinx, a company that we remember that it has been acquired entirely by AMD.So it is not a concept on paper and not a laboratory product, but this type of HBM memory can be manufactured in large quantities.Of course, the Xilinx Áveo is a FPGA -based accelerator card that is used in data centers.It is not a product for the mass market, and we must take into account that it is nothing more than a variant of the HBM memory, which alone is very expensive and scarce to manufacture, which reduces its usein commercial products such as gaming graphics cards or processors.
